³⁴ And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

⁸ And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ``Let us go into the field;'' and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.

⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where `is' Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?'

¹⁰ And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

¹¹ and now, cursed `art' thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;

¹² when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

¹³ And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

¹⁴ lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.'

³⁷ And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and `David' mourneth for his son all the days.

³⁸ And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;

¹⁷ A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.

¹⁹ As `when' one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.
